What is the ruling on working in a disciplinary council that applies man-made laws (labor laws) to employees and punishes their errors such as tardiness, absenteeism, and theft? Is dismissal as a punishment for theft considered judging by other than what Allah has revealed? And what is the control to avoid oppressing employees?

The employee and their employer refer to the employment contract or the regulations in force in the institution for arbitration, as long as they do not contradict Islamic Sharia, based on the words of Allah Almighty: "O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts," and the words of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Muslims are bound by their conditions."

The disciplinary board that adjudicates administrative cases for state institutions, and its penalties (warning, reprimand, suspension, demotion, dismissal) for offenses such as tardiness, absenteeism, drunkenness, theft, and failure to perform work, do not contradict Islamic Sharia.

The punishment for theft in Sharia is cutting off the hand, which is within the jurisdiction of the judicial authority. Disciplinary boards are not prevented from taking other appropriate measures against the thief, such as dismissal from work, to deter theft and ensure the employee's integrity.
